Genetic Technologist

4 months ago


Oxford, United Kingdom Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An opportunity has arisen for a full time, permanent Genetic Technologist to join the team in the Oxford Genetics Laboratories (OGL), a part of the Central & South Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH). The OGL operates across both the John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals and staff may be required to work at either or both sites.

The post-holder will be expected to perform a range of genetic tests in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures. The role will include workflow management of a specific area under the supervision of Senior Genetic Technologists or Clinical Scientists, which may also include some supervision of the workload of junior staff, training and troubleshooting. While a large proportion of work is wet-lab based, Genetic Technologists also undertake both the analysis of test data and the reporting of routine results.

A reasonable amount of workplace-based experience in a UKAS accredited Genetics Laboratory (or similarly regulated environment) with direct practical experience of post-extraction molecular genetic techniques (e.g. PCR setup, Sanger sequencing, NGS, MLPA, Pyrosequencing) is essential, though full training in local procedures will be given.

They process a wide range of pathological specimens for a broad range of inherited conditions according to standard operating procedures, and are competent in the use of patient databases, state of the art technologies and a variety of software packages, some of which are complex, for the analysis of data.
They perform highly accurate and skilled analysis, with often unpredictable outcomes and requiring periods of concentration.
They are expected to communicate complex technical, scientific and confidential information to colleagues within their department in electronic, written and verbal forms.
Technologists participate in the teaching and training load of the department through demonstration of own performance of appropriate standard operating procedures to other genetic technologists and trainee Clinical Scientists within the limits of their experience. They are also required to attend and participate in appropriate training seminars, and regular section and departmental meetings.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.

The Oxford Genetics laboratories are part of the Central & South Genomic Laboratory Hub (C&S GLH), one of 7 GLHs recently established to deliver NHS England’s National Genomic Medicine Service. We provide a comprehensive range of cytogenetic, molecular cytogenetic and molecular
genetic investigations for both rare disease and acquired disorders (solid tumour and haematological malignancy).

Clinical Service

1. Deliver the technical service of a section/subsection or designated area of work to nationally accepted standards (UKAS or equivalent) with appropriate support to include the following:
